Welcome to the 859th Tablescape Thursday! My daffodils have been blooming for a couple of weeks now. They are just starting to wain a bit so I snapped a few pictures before they are all gone again for another year. When I first planted these many, many years ago, I had a large variety of shapes and colors. Over the years, certain varieties have started to vanish. Lesson learned: Don’t mix varieties!
I read online this morning that there are 36 varieties of daffodils. I miss some of the more colorful ones I used that I had in the beginning. I think this autumn, I’ll plant daffodils in the Dollhouse garden. I wonder if I don’t plant them all together in one bed, but separate certain colors/varieties by placing them in their own bed or area of the garden, if that will prevent them from cross-mixing. Or, maybe that doesn’t work and if they are all in the same yard, they’ll still cross-mix and I’ll end up losing certain varieties again. I need to do some reading on that, or if you know the answer, please share in the comments! The daffodils around my gas lantern are just starting to bloom. I have daffodils planted in three different areas and they all bloom at different times, probably due to the amount of sun they get. I like how that has worked out, stretching out the time I get to enjoy them in the garden.
For this week’s Tablescape Thursday, I’m sharing three St. Patrick’s Day tablescapes where I used daffodils in the centerpiece. You’ll probably see some of those varieties that have vanished from my flower beds over the years. At least I have the photos to remember them by. Daffodils are such happy flowers! I love them so much!

A few days ago I visited a Belk store that’s not near my home, so I rarely have the opportunity to shop there in person. I saw this pretty display of Mackenzie-Child check pieces. I’m used to seeing their black-and-white Courtly Check, so it was fun to see some of the other colors in person. If their traditional black-and-white check doesn’t work in your home, they have pretty neutral checks, too.
This soft pink was really pretty!
If you would enjoy seeing all the colors MacKenzie-Childs has available in their check design, you’ll find that available here: MacKenzie Childs.
If you love seeing Hummingbirds in your garden, I just came across this “Arrival Times” graphic from AccuWeather. I’ve always wondered when I should put my hummingbird feeders out each spring, so I found this super helpful. Looks like it’s time to put them out here in Georgia, but still a bit early for Ohio. I’ll be saving this graphic to refer to each year! 
Looking forward to the beautiful table settings linked for this week’s Tablescape Thursday!

Love all your beautiful daffodil tables – so fresh and springy! I think different daffodil bulbs are viable for different lengths of time – maybe the ones that have disappeared have just gotten too old. The ones you have left are still gorgeous though! Thanks so much for the party – I can’t wait to dive in. Happy Thursday!
Thanks so much, Barbara! I bet you’re right. Mine have done really well for a long time but it did seem like I had less blooms over the past 2-3 years. I thought they would divide underground and produce more and more. I sure don’t want to have to dig them up, I remember what job it was to plant them so many years ago. Hope you have a great weekend!
Love the Daffodils. When I visit my son and family in Dayton in the spring I always drive by an area that has acres of daffodils. Don’t know the exact address but will try to find out. It is breathtaking.
Also, during an extended stay that up there several years ago, I found a wonderful hair stylist. I still use her almost every time I’m in Dayton. She is at The Loft in Kettering. Her name is Carrie. Hope this info might be useful. Kinda a little payback for all the useful info you have given me.
Patty, thanks so much for the sylist recommendation! I never know who to go to when I’m there so that is so helpful! I wonderful if the daffodil place you’ve passed is this home: https://betweennapsontheporch.net/a-million-daffodils-a-porch-decorated-for-spring-a-whimsical-spring-easter-tree/
Such cheerful tables, and the daffodils are so delightful!
Thanks so much! I love this time of year! Hope you are having a wonderful spring!

Thanks for the daffodil photos and–it was warm for a few days, but back to cloudy and 40s today, so especially enjoyed the signs of spring.
Crazy spring weather! We had hail here yesterday, or so I heard from a friend. I never heard it so maybe it missed my area. Spring is coming, Mia!
“Our” hummers better check long range weather predictions…Yes, Virginia, you can be fickle.
My daffs are budded…but no trumpets blowing in the wind… franki
lol So true! I would love to plant more of the flowers that hummingbirds love. They are just the sweetest birds. Sometimes when I go outside to rehang a feeder after cleaning/filling it, they will come right up to my face as if to say, “Hurry up, woman—I’m hungry!”
Such a cheery post! I love St. Patrick’s Day decor — just so positive and happy! I hope you’ll link up with my Vintage Finds Friday party. It’s a brand new party on my blog! Have a great weekend!
Thanks, Sarah! Hope you have a fabulous weekend and a wonderful St. Paddy’s Day!
Not all daffodils propagate the same, some varieties are very hardy and last a long time while others peter out after a few years. P. Allen Smith plants millions of daffodils and he has a lot of info on his website, pallensmith.com
The ones I find the prettiest with double ruffles are usually not the hardiest. At least with dafs they require little effort to look beautiful for many years.
I think some of mine are starting to peter out…just noticed that for the first time this year. I’ll have to check out P. Allen Smith’s website. I have several of his books, but most are his older ones.
Your daffs are gorgeous. I can’t wait till ours come up. WAY early for us – but this 70+ degree weather all week brings their green leaves poking up. YAY. Thanks for the hummer thing – I usually put my feeder out in early april if it’s been warm. That was a neat chat. Was just discussing that very thing with a friend who has many hummers yesterday.
Happy St. Pat’s, Susan.
It’s kinda funny because I usually experience two springs every year, one here and one in Ohio. Looks like that will be happening again this year. I get the double dose of pollen! lol
Hope you have a great weekend and a fabulous St. Paddy’s Day, Michele!
I love the Mackenzie-Child mocha check pattern! It’s so soothing.
Michigan here: leaves are starting to pop through the dirt. Probably see some blooms closer to Easter.
I really like that soft neutral tan/brown color, too. I wonder if that’s the mocha pattern? Glad you are seeing signs of spring, Julie! It won’t be long before you’ll be seeing flowers!
